This Renogy Solar Kit includes the equipment necessary for building a new system: a solar panel, a charge controller, needed electrical wiring, Solar Y Branch Connectors and Z-brackets, making it an ideal choice for both off-grid and mobile solar power applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Starter Kit will produce an average of 2kWh of electricity per day (Based on 5 hours of direct sunlight conditions). The 100W solar panel doesn't take up much roof space, but its energy can offset small and medium-size loads such as lighting, television, and coffee maker. The Starter Kit can build a reliable and environmentally friendly power supply, perfect for RVs, campers, boats, sheds, and cabins. It can also be installed as a power supply for outdoor appliances and emergencies, and as a stand-alone power system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\u003c!--\ntable {\n  font-family: arial, sans-serif;\n  border-collapse: collapse;\n  width: 75%;\n}\ntd, th {\n  border: 2px solid #5A5A5A;\n  text-align: left;\n  padding: 8px;\n}\ntr:nth-child(even) {\n  background-color: #dddddd;\n}\n--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"margin: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eEfficient Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe bypass diode can ensure the panel has an excellent performance in a low-light environment and the TPT back sheet dissipates excess heat to ensure smooth output performance.
